Motorcycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (V22) ICD-10-CM

About the V22 Code Range

This section covers the ICD-10 codes beginning with V22, used for classifying injuries sustained by motorcycle riders and passengers when involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. These codes differentiate roles (driver, passenger, boarding), vehicle types (including electric-assisted bicycles), and accident circumstances (traffic vs. nontraffic).

The ICD-10 code for motorcycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (V22) and its subcategories help healthcare professionals and coders specify the exact nature of the injury event. For instance, V22.0 relates to a motorcycle driver in a nontraffic accident, while V22.4 covers similar drivers but in traffic accidents. Separate codes exist for electric (assisted) bicycles, recognizing terms like “e-bike” or “electric bicycle,” to ensure precise documentation. Additionally, the codes incorporate factors such as initial, subsequent, or sequela encounters by using 7th characters like XA, XD, or XS. These distinctions enable accurate classification of injuries by status of the rider or passenger, type of motorcycle, and accident context, which is critical for detailed injury recording and reporting.
